We had a rainy weekend that kept me out of the river and the trout safe so I decided to build a side quiver for some up-coming 3D shoots so that I didn't have to wear my back-soaking back quiver. I carved some acorns and oak leaves on the decorative piece and used a oak leaf stamp on the strap followed my a dark brown leather stain (still needs some mink oil though and touchup on the lacing holes). Should be a useful piece of gear and I look forward to giving this quiver style a try....Whatcha' think?

Nice work there. Did you leather wrap a dowel for the rod?
That's a really nice style of quiver. I made one like it a couple years ago and my buddy who is new to trad archery needed a quiver last year when we went to Denton Hill so I let him use it. Well, he liked it so much that it became his. I need to get some more leather and make myself another.
Yours is much nicer than mine was. :thumbsup:

Thanks! The rod is actually two Easton Alum. shafts that I cut to length, epoxied together side-by-side and wrapped 1/8" leather lacing around. A drop of super glue on the shaft every few wraps keeps things tight if your lacing breaks or slips from your hand.
Very nice work.
That's Awesome! I may need to make one of those guys. I love my homemade backquiver, but I'm really liking this. Great work.
Very Nice! Im thinking that would make a great stalking quiver as well as for 3D. Well done. :thumbsup:
Looks great! Very nicely done.
Nice work!
Nice!!! I like it
Great job, I really like it.
Very nice work, turned out great.
Great Job! Can you post a little how-to? Would love to make one of these.
Very nice. Love to see all the different ideas form the talented artisans on this site.

Very nicely done. I like the leather carving. I will try my hand at something like this!
Well done. I like it!

I order my tooling leather from Tandy Leather. For this project I used 9-10oz leather for the upper portion and for the non-tooled lower portion. The tooled portion is 5 oz vegetable tanned tooling leather glued and hand-stitched to the smooth piece. The leather lacing I got from a local craft supply (Michael's/Hobby Lobby).

Will do....unfortunately I did not take any pictures during the build but I can draw some pics and post them.
Pretty good copy of one of Bobby Ratliff's Highnoon Quiver. They are great quivers.
Realnice. :thumbsup:

Had no idea...I will look that one up. I kind of just put this one together based on some of the pictures I had seen on this site of others' gear.
Just checked his work...you are right! It is funny, I actually have seen some of those pictures before doing research for ideas and I realized that I "straight-up-stole" the top quiver portion style from one of them. I'll take it as a complement and hope he takes it as "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" :D
